Original paintings celebrating the female experience
From Broadway stages to canvas — vivid, emotionally charged works that celebrate women's strength, tenderness, and resilience. Each painting carries the weight of a life spent in service to storytelling.
Mary performed on Broadway at the Martin Beck Theatre in the long-running revival of Oh! Calcutta! (1976–1989). National tour credits include The Pirates of Penzance, Bye Bye Birdie, and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. That theatrical training carried directly into her painting — her figures carry gesture, weight, and emotional presence that only comes from years of performing.
With her husband, writer Howard Schor, she created A Place for Starr — a book that sold over 10,000 copies and continues to be used in shelters and counseling settings worldwide. She co-founded BEAT Children's Theatre, honored by the Oregon State Legislature in 2015.
Many of Mary's paintings are mixed media — real feathers, gemstones, lace, and silk ribbon physically embedded in the canvas. Each original is a singular, three-dimensional object.

A performer's eye for the human figure, an illustrator's gift for narrative, and an advocate's authenticity — almost never found together in one artist. Many works are also mixed media: physically built with real feathers, jewels, beads, and lace embedded in the canvas.
Several originals — Earth Mother, Cotton Candy, Josephine Baker, Personas — are mixed media objects with real materials in the canvas. A print is beautiful. The original is a physical object that commands a room. When you own it, you own the only one that will ever exist.
Giclée (zhee-KLAY) is the fine art printing standard used by galleries and museums worldwide. Archival pigment inks on 100% cotton rag, acid-free paper. The difference from standard prints is immediately apparent — the paper has weight, the colors have depth, the print reads as art.
